Yesterday, I went to the Cal Bookstore where Lauren Conrad was doing a book signing. I like how much I can relate to Lauren Conrad on a number of levels - she gains success by being nice and not by being mean, she knows what she wants and has a good head on her shoulders, and she has a range of fashion styles that are polished and classy but still current and cool.
We weren't allowed any photos when she was signing, but I did take 2 photos of the cover of the book and the signed page inside.
I took a piece of Hale (the Hollywood necklace) in a box and included my resume, a cover letter, and business card. It was a bold move that will probably never have anything come from it but at least now she has not only a piece from my collection in her hand, but also my resume. We will one day cross paths in the career field.. I just know it.
When I walked up to her to have her sign my book and hand over the Hale, she gave me a number of compliments on my outfit. What a sweet girl she is! As I was leaving, her publicist asked to take a photo of my outfit, as Lauren likes to tweet her favorite outfits from her appearances. Whether or not I make the cut, I do not know - however, what I am most excited about is how she now has a face to match the jewelry and resume.
Like I said, I expect NOTHING to come of this - but I'm just SO glad I went. Had I listened to my own brain, I wouldn't have gone. Had my friends not PUSHED me to go, I wouldn't have gone. I hate being told no, I really do. That's why I follow rules so much - but yesterday, I turned the brain on auto-pilot and just went with it.. no thinking involved... and now, I couldn't be happier and more motivated.. making me realize I DO have the power to do big things.. it's just a matter of taking risks!
